Curtis Jones sends six-word message to Liverpool fans as full stats emerge
Liverpool midfielder has taken to social media to send a message to fans after his impressive performance in their 2-0 win over Real Madrid on Wednesday (November 27).
The 23-year-old played 83 minutes for Arne Slot’s side as they comfortably dispatched the European champions to keep their 100 per cent Champions League record so far this season intact.
While penalty misses from Mohamed Salah and Kylian Mbappe will likely grab most of the headlines, Jones quietly had one of his best performances in a Liverpool shirt.
Playing as a number ten, the England international ended his game having created two chances, had a 93 per cent pass accuracy rate, and four successful dribbles, which is more than anyone in the Real Madrid side.

Jones is loving life under new manager Arne Slot, having already amassed 828 minutes of football across all competitions so far this season.
His fine form earned him a call-up to Lee Carsley’s last squad as England manager, with the midfielder scoring a cheeky backheel on his debut in their 3-0 UEFA Nations League win over Greece.
After another big performance against none other than Real Madrid, Jones took to Instagram to celebrate.
Few would have predicted how well Liverpool’s season has gone, sitting at the top of the Premier League and the new Champions League group phase.
With Man City up next, Liverpool could be 12 points clear in the race for the title should they win on Sunday (December 1).
